Its gone from the 60 minutes site here in Australia as well
Those youtube links no longer work either.
Looks like BP does not like the truth getting out.

Seems a number of parties don't want too much mention of the continued flow as well as the anemic and ill-prepared cleanup attempt.

That Promo (ad campaign) aired in the US in 1999 when they started their C Store Concepts

The US is screwed.

In more ways than one.

We are owned by major corporations, we are slaves.

And this oil spill is turning into the worst natural disaster of our time.

Natural?

RichC · #11 07-02-2010, 04:29 PM

Well the cause of the spill was defiantly not natural in the way hurricane Katrina was.

But it is destroying nature.

I guess its a man made disaster, that is destroying what is natural.

Not really a natural disaster.

I cant even think of words to explain it.

Whistle blower to testify on oil spill worst fear:BP deliberately sinks oil with Corexit as cover up

Testimony before a Senate investigative panel this week is expected to reveal what many have suspected about BP all along; they don’t care about the environment, the animals that are dying, and the lives that are being destroyed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

In a shocking interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on June 29th, Allegiance Capitol Corporation V.P. Fred McCallister said that BP is deliberately sinking oil with the toxic chemical disbursant Corexit, to hide the size of the oil spill. By sinking the oil before it can be collected, BP won’t have to pay fines on it.

McCallister said, “Everybody in Europe, where the standard practice is to raise the oil and collect it, is scratching their heads, and quite honestly laughing at what’s happening in the Gulf.” He added, “Everyone is looking at us and wondering why we’re allowing this to happen.”

McCallister is set to appear before a Senate investigative panel on Thursday and testify that BP’s only interests regarding the Deepwater Horizon spill is protectimg their own financial interests. His statements explained why BP has been refusing offers of help from additional foreign skimmers.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black ! important]BP’s fear is that independent skimmers would be able to count the number of gallons collected, and thus provide the US government with data to assess spill rate financial penalties against BP, according to McCallister.

“BP is in control of this situation and they are doing what’s in the best interests of BP and their shareholders,” McCallister said.[/COLOR]

Maybe you should read up on what Corexit is before you jump off into posting conspiracy BS. It is a dispersant that breaks oil into smaller droplets (emulsion breaking) which allows them to sink and become more easily bio-degradeable. Thats the goal remember?

And since nowhere has it been said or written that the amount of oil will dictate a fine to BP, the idea of them sinking oil to save a fine is beyond stupid. Plus I challenge anybody to accurately measure the spill to within 15%.

Maybe you should follow your own advice.
The UK tests for dispersants found Corexit unacceptable and it's use it not permitted.
Here's some more information-

Yep, BP does not have any clue what a flow meter is........

They are just horrible at estimating things like the flow of oil thru a certain size pipe.

Where do you get this junk ?

Worse yet, how do you believe it ???
